Brush Guard opinions

[nickyg1478]

im thinkin about getting a brush guard for my tahoe. i really wanna get a nice one and was comparing the go industries rancher with the ranch hand legend. any one got any advice on a good one to buy? anyone have any experience with these two?

no experiance yet but I definitely want the rancher. It is definately HD. ALso $600

I picked up a ranch hand for $125 used that had been rhino lined black. I knew I wanted a used one since the new ones are so expensive. It took about 3 months to find a good one on craigslist, but it was well worth the wait in my opinion. Just a word of advice, that sucker is heavy as hell....it took my engine puller and a friend to help me get it lined up while I threw the bolts in.

I want one so bad but trying to sell my truck so it wouldnt make sense for me to get one now. I like bowtiefreak's but I guess they are hard to come by now.

I've got one of the 1st design Ranch hand guards. They're built well but like hotrod said they are HEAVY.

How much front-end drop does it cause?

had a westin/manick (wasn't marked) one like Kris has, it was a well built brushguard would still have it if i didn't grab the deal on the KMA Wincher buper/brushguard.

I didn't measure to see how far it dropped, but it did drop some but not whole lot...I'm rubbing a bit more often, but that's mainly due to my big tire choice. It's well worth it IMO because now I feel like I could totally ram some motherfu**ers and come out unscaved lol. Sorry, maybe that's the alcohol talking, I've been drinking this afternoon.

Nothing a couple rounds on the torsion bars won't fix
